    We’ve reached another milestone in the Down On The Street Series, with today’s vehicle being the 250th vintage (or at least interesting) street-parked vehicle I’ve photographed parked on the streets of Alameda, California. It’s been a little over a year since we saw the very first DOTS car, and I never thought I’d be able to find as many as I have. Doing this series has turned me into an annoyingly slow driver when I’m in Alameda, as I’m constantly cruising at minimum speed and scanning parked cars for potential DOTS candidates; by this time I’ve developed the ability to pick out an interesting parked car just from a nanosecond’s glimpse of a grille at a distance of several blocks. So make the jump and check out the cars! Since our server hamsters all die when we try to show more than 200 images in a post you can just go to the 200 DOTS post to see the earlier DOTS cars, I’m just going to show you cars #200 through #250 here. Those of you with questions about why this small island city has so many old cars on the street should check out the explanations here. 1941 Chevrolet Pickup 1950 Ford 1956 Ford F-100 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S 1960 Volkswagen Transporter 1962 Ford Falcon 1963 Dodge D100 1963 Porsche 356 1964 Ford F-100 1964 Chrysler 300 1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone 1965 Mercury Comet 1966 Buick Riviera 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 Convertible 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250S 1967 Plymouth Barracuda 1968 Porsche 912 1968 Mercury Cougar 1969 Volkswagen Beetle 1969 Ford Mustang 1970 Cadillac Coupe de Ville 1971 Chrysler Newport Royal 1971 Chevrolet Blazer 1971 Dodge Dart 1973 MGB 1974 Ford Maverick 1974 Chevrolet Camaro 1975 Chevrolet El Camino 1976 IHC Harvester Scout II 1977 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 1977 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1977 Volvo 244DL 1978 Dodge Monaco Brougham 1979 Porsche 928 1980 Plymouth Arrow Pickup Truck 1981 Fiat Strada 1982 Datsun 280ZX Turbo 1982 Toyota Corolla 1982 Mazda 626 Luxury 1983 Toyota 4×4 Pickup 1984 Plymouth Reliant 1984 Jaguar XJ6 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT 1987 Mitsubishi Starion 1989 Alfa Romeo Graduate 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS 1969 Cadillac Sedan de Ville 1965 Chevrolet C10 1983 BMW 633CSi Original post by Murilee Martin
